The others were fine, but Wu Bixia’s youngest son, Deng Wenwei, was visibly displeased.
For the past few days, since Feng Qingqing had gone to the Provincial Capital, the members of the Deng family had been staying at a guesthouse in the County Town. While the others managed to adapt, Deng Wenwei was the most restless and impatient. With no other acquaintances in Nanjiang County, every day felt like a year to him. He was longing for his mother to return to Beijing so he could go back to drinking and carousing with his fair-weather friends. Unfortunately, for some reason, his mother was dead set against leaving. With Feng Qingqing gone for days without a sign, he was reduced to pacing the guesthouse in a frenzy.
Hearing from his brother today that Feng Qingqing had finally returned from the Provincial Capital, he felt a sense of relief. Whether or not she could help, they needed a straight answer; otherwise, the whole family would just be wasting time in the County Town. But when they arrived at Feng Qingqing’s home, she simply went about her own business, leaving them completely ignored.
